In summary:

Emirates’ new regulations include:

  • Emirates customers may carry one power bank that is under 100 Watt Hours.
  • Power banks may not be used to charge any personal devices onboard.
  • Charging a power bank using the aircraft’s power supply is not permitted.
  • All power banks accepted for transport must have capacity rating information available.
  • Power banks may not be placed in the overhead stowage bin onboard the aircraft and must now be placed in the seat pocket or in a bag under the seat in front of you.
  • Power banks are not permitted in checked luggage (existing rule).

So the usual 27000 Mah (not sure why that measurement isn't being used given almost all Power banks quote that instead).

And you have to place them in the seat pocket, but can't use them.

Another impossible to enforce rule I suspect.
